Car Talk Classics

#9815: The New, Kinder, Gentler IRS
This week, we take you behind the grease at Dewey, Cheetham & Howe. First, a company in New Jersey tries to scam Tom and Ray out of $900. Then it's off to help a caller retrieve blue cheese and flowers from his car's vents. And to top it off, we get audited by the IRS. We knew those online Mouth-to-Muffler Resuscitation classes were a bad idea!

#9814: Morley Safer Defends Peugeot
This week on Car Talk, Morley Safer from that big impressive news program "60 Minutes" is on the line. Did he find out about our new line of gluten-free engine additives scam? No... he just wants to whine about his Peugeot. Phew!

#9715: The Perfect Tool
This week on Car Talk, the perfect tool. No... that's not what we call Tommy behind his back at the office! But it is an insight into the mind of the Do-It-Yourselfer. Then it's off to North Carolina to counsel a mom considering buying a muscle car for her 16-year-old. And we try to keep Andrew in Connecticut from ruining a father-son relationship over a measly clutch. An engine, maybe. But not a clutch!

#9707: Valentine's Day
"Rolls Royces are red, Jaguars are blue..." In honor of Valentine's day, Tom and Ray crawl out from under the hood and broadcast from the backseat - helping listeners fix their love lives... and their cars.

#9703: Lost in Space
This week on Car Talk, we take the show where few humans have gone before. A used car dealer customer satisfaction party?! Well, when John from Houston isn't satisfied with the ride in his rather unique "Government Vehicle", he calls on Tom and Ray to help him with this most powerful set of wheels. Err?? make that booster rockets!

#9702: Men Before GPS
This week on Car Talk, we explore one of life's most challenging questions: If a man were brave enough to ever stop and ask for directions, why wouldn't it work? Tom, Ray, and Ethan from Connecticut get lost trying to get to the bottom of this peculiarly male malady.
